IMPROVD BOTTLE FOR AERATED LIQUIDS.

Specication forming part of Letters Patent N o. 34,894, dated April 8,1862.

To all wiz/'om it may concern:`

Be it known that I, 'JOHN D. LYNDE, of Philadelphia, in the -county ofPhiladelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new 'andusefulValve-Stopper for Bottles; and I hereby declare that full, clear,and exact description of the construction and operation of the same,reference D is the support of the hollow valve-stem ,which passesthrough its center. The lower end of H is closed, and an annulardepression about one-sixteenth inch d'eep and knob, K, of saine diameteras and connected to H by a neck. In one side of said neck is a slotconnected with the hole in the valvestem. ByA passing the knob Kdownthrough the hole in the center of X, of the size of the neckconnecting'K and H, the knob K, with said rubber X, becomes a valve toclose the aperture in D as K is pressed upward.` y

On H, at a convenient distance above D, is which forms a cap to hold inposition'the ,rubber band L, which acts as a spring to keep theabove-described valve closedpwhen not being operated, also as' packing-Ato -inake a tight -joint at O, being 'pressed' by forceofits ownelasticity down thetunnel-shaped topv of Dyon which it rests, andagainst the valvestem H.

the following is a\ is made, which leaves a" The'dotted lines s s showthe position the rubber L will take when the valve is opened to fill ordischarge the bottle..

To Illthe bottle with mineral water under pressurefthe top of thevalve-stem H is inserted into the mouth-piece of the filling-ma' chineattached to a fountain. The pressure used to make atight joint betweensaid mouthpiece and H willfalso cause H to descend, opening ,the valve,and forming'communication between the lling-machine and the bottle, theknob K taking the Vposition of the dotted line V. The aperture, whichmight be .caused in D by the great .pressure of gas, is prevented b'ythe compression of the rubber L betweenthe edges of R `and-D T T. The

water is allowedto run in until the bottle is three-fourths filled, thenstopped, and the air allowed to escape from the bottle by. looseningslightly the stopper at its connect-ion with the mouth, when it is againtightened, and gas forced inby same filling-machine, being vintroduced.by means of a pipe attached to the fountain above the water, thus givingthe rcquired pressure inthe bottle.

To discharge the contents of the bottle, a conveying-pipe is 'slipped onthe top of H, which being pressed downward, the fluid is forced up bythe gas-pressure through' B and the valve-stem H, out through the saidconducting-pipe in portions, as required, without loss of gas. What Iclaim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The valve as described, and its combination with the rubber spring L,the hollow valvestem H, the tube B, and the hollow mouth piece A,constructed substantial] y as described,

and for the purposes set forth.
